Chapter 73 Labor Fees

"Lord, Governor, Consul, you are too exaggerating, right?

You are the world's number one, the world's second largest naval power, hundreds of thousands of aircraft carriers, battleships, and cruisers do not take action, but let me drive them away?

It’s easy for me to buy these warships if I spend all my money!”

Yang Feng looked at Mountbatten, Van Mok, and Johnson, the Consul General of the United States in Temasek with a terror.

Well, these imperialists were dying. Just a day ago, a Soviet merchant ship full of arms and so-called salvage equipment rushed into the Suez Canal. The British, who had announced that they would ban such ships from entering, controlled their emotions and did not dare to stop them.

"His Excellency, with the joining of Prince Eugen, your fleet has the ability to completely wipe out the Soviet fleet. If there is any loss in the battle, we will compensate you, sink one by one, and add another. Even if your USS Kewei aircraft carrier sinks, we will give you another Essex-class aircraft carrier."

Johnson said heroically.

They are now sitting on the deck of Prince Eugen. The Ming Empire has officially accepted the warship, including all the Prussian officers and soldiers on the ship. These people originally drove Prince Eugen to the United States, and then received the order to return to Europe when they got there. They changed their flags and swept their new name in the Netherlands, drove over as the Royal Dutch yacht, and then sold it to the Head of the Ming Empire as his private yacht by the Netherlands government.

It should be said that this is the first official contact between the US government and Yang Feng. Although the United States is the world's leader now, other areas in Southeast Asia, except Luzon are still the British sphere of influence. The United States, which is busy with the messy things in Minhua, Goryeo, and Japan, has no time to take care of the affairs of this area. But now it is not possible. Stalin has forced them to the point where they have to take care of it. If they don't take any action, it is about to build a Soviet naval base.

But it is impossible to go barefoot, and it is not worth it. Everyone has identities, so how can they roll up their sleeves and chop each other? So it is best to find a thug. Yang Feng is undoubtedly the best and the only choice for this role.

In fact, they knew very well that although Stalin was quite scary, in fact, he was just bluffing. Until now, the Soviet government's statement to the outside world was that the fleet had to stay in the port of Chilaza because it needed to salvage the Red Caucasus. They would naturally leave after the salvage was salvaged. Those claims that the Soviet Union attempted to establish a military base in Java were purely rumors.

In other words, the Soviets were not prepared to go directly to the battle.

"To be honest, I really can't stand the arrogance of the Soviets, but the problem is that I am now focusing on disaster relief, so how can I care about anything else? What's more, Java Island has no personal interests, and the only thing I need to do is to protect the Chinese there. If I dispatch a fleet to attack the Soviet fleet, how can they let the Javanese retaliate against the Chinese?"

Yang Feng said with a embarrassed look on his face.

"So what circumstances should the Head of State think that the troops can be sent?"

Van Mok, who is familiar with his personality, asked directly.

"The first is disaster relief. The United Nations can no longer restrict me from purchasing food. Those hungry people are millions. I need to purchase a large amount of food to support them. However, under the quota system of international food trade, my purchases are subject to many restrictions."

Yang Feng said.

"This is fine. The Ming Empire is not a member of the United Nations and of course it should not be restricted by the Food Commission."

Johnson said without hesitation.

American grain traders are eager to buy food at a price that is almost one-third higher than the normal price. The American grain giants are already crazy. In fact, even without his promise, those grain traders have long ignored the quota limit.

"Secondly, I need a batch of landing ships. I have to prepare for protecting the Chinese there. Although I have a guardian team in several major cities in Java, I lack the transportation tools to provide them with quick support, and the most suitable one there is the landing ship."

"Yes, we can give away four L**, medium-sized landing ships to the Ming Dynasty, with a full load displacement of 1,000 tons, equipped with light artillery, and a twelve knots of speed and endurance of 4,900 nautical miles, which is enough for your operations on any coast of Java. In addition, if you need more, you can sell them at the price of remaining supplies."

Johnson said.

"Then buy ten more ships, it's okay to be a cargo ship."

Yang Feng said with satisfaction.

Although it is not an LST, it is enough for him to use it. Although the LST is famous and has a large capacity for transportation, its miserable speed is speechless. With the L** speed, it can jump from Anbuna Island to Java Island in fifty hours, which is enough.

"no problem."

Johnson said with a smile.

In fact, at this time, some of the US military landing ships were waiting to be dealt with. The things originally built for large-scale landing in Japan were extremely numerous. L** alone would have more than 100 ships. If more than 1,000 ships were added to all this type of ship, they would be useless now. Some people would be happy that the US government would be happy!

"Then there are the last two requirements next."

Yang Feng said.

"First of all, it is a small request, a small request that is not worth mentioning for your country. Please send a message to the FBI. You may be investigating the assets of the Kong Xiangxi family in your country. You just release a message. Do you understand? Of course, if you are really willing to investigate, it will be your business."

He said insidiously.

Well, Johnson immediately knew his purpose. This guy still tied Kong Xiangxi to prison and was waiting to make a comeback from him. Of course the US government knew about this. But it was obvious that Yuan Yang's offer was too high. Song Ailing and her children had not made a decision yet. After all, it would be a bit expensive to exchange for 200 million US dollars for one person anyway. Even if it was exchanged for her husband and father, it would need to be carefully considered. If the husband is gone, it would be gone. If the father is gone, it would be gone. If he is over 60 years old, he can live for a few years, but the US dollar is gone. It would be impossible to open his hands and hug him in his arms like before.

Obviously, Chief Yang wanted to force them.

However, this is a slight effort for the US government, and if Yang Feng does such a job, he must give him enough benefits. The ones listed before are obviously not enough. Two hundred million US dollars is enough. Anyway, it is not the US government that pays money to help him and take out the Kong family's money, which can be considered as a commission for him.

Johnson nodded with a smile.

"It's refreshing, I like to deal with people like you. So let's talk about my last request, which is also a small request worth noting. I want to ask your country to give me one."

Yang Feng said with a smile.

"Who?"

Johnson said in confusion.

"Kakihiko Asakagumiya." Yang Feng said with a grim smile.
